Super Adventure Comic #55 is the UK edition of World's Finest #71, an issue that launched the Superman/Batman team stories in that title, which is a key because the combination of the world's two most famous superheroes in actual stories also proved to be comics' most important team-up for decades.  While World's Finest had featured[...]
